OMG I havent watched a Korean drama since... I don't remember. All I have been doing was waiting for All My Love, which is a sitcom. I might give this a try.

I watched this drama sort of backward lmao I skipped the first episode, probably one of the more boring episode but once you get pass that, you are HOOKED. It's like a drug. I watched episode 10 lol watched 11-14 then went back to watch episode 2.

I am team Yi Soo the Scheduler and the real depressed Song Yi Kyung. Their story is what I want to watch unfold, I could care less about Ji Hyun parts... as in her storyline. Wished they focused a bit more on the real Yi Kyung. I want to slap the Scheduler so that he can remember her.

Omo Scheduler finally remembers in episode 15!!! Well not really but he had flashbacks!!! Omo... It's 4 in the morning, I think I will let episode 16 wait. Yes I am watching this without sub. I couldn't restrain myself.

Episode 16 was heart aching. I am looking forward to episode 17 this Wednesday =D

I started episode 1 when it first aired. That's when I turned my back on this. And then I watched episode 10 for some odd reason. I guess I was just Youtubing and it cropped out. And then I came into asianfuse to see if anyone else was watching. Tada here I am. Waiting. And Waiting. I should have waited a bit longer so that I am not suffering like I am right now lol

I just finished episode 15 and 16 with English sub and it was even more heart aching then when I watching the raw version.

I kind of despise JH when she lashed out on YK because she found out who the person that caused her accident. I can understand how angry she is but she should be more thankful that she gotten a second chance to re-evaluate her love life and see who is her true friends. And YK got kicked out of rented home, thanks to the ungrateful brat! LOL JH isn't bad but sometimes she just ticks me off.

I fell off my seat at the ending of episode 18! Ah when will the subtitle be release. I can't believe it. The second tear is probably Seo Woo, about the third tear, it could possibly be anyone. I am leaning toward Yi Kyung since she has gotten to know Ji Hyun and that last meal she prepared for her, probably got Yi Kyung very emotional. Or the writers can throw us all off by having In Jung or Min Ho as the third tear. OMG!

technically counting .. KANG gave her two tears -- he made SEO WOO see her true self to be able to give out her pure love for JH. -- well with a little help from JH herself.

OMG I cannot stop crying in episode 19!!! Yi Soo and Yi Kyung!!! They once again left you on a cliff hanger. It's obvious that the tears were Yi Kyung and Seo Woo. I thought they would add some big twist to it and be someone else other than Seo Woo but they got me there. Now the big question is will Ji Hyun die, she says she remembers everything and that she was going to die so she pretends not to remember Kang. And they ended at that. OMG tomorrow well in a few hours this drama will end. One of my favorite from this year!!!

Spoiler alert. OMG I had that feeling Yi Kyung was somehow related to Ji Hyung. So my speculation was right from the beginning lol that it could have been someone else tears other than Yi Kyung although she did cry. Good twist. I cried probably an ocean by now in this drama. I am going to rewatch it =D

^the twist at the end got me feeling sorry and sad for IN JUNG -- i'm glad we get to see the whole side of her story b/c she is pitiful now that i think about it.

They could have worked a little bit on In Jung's character development. Or it could have been her facial expression when she found out what kind of idiot she was lol that really ruined the mood for me.

Julie thank goodness you gave this a shot. A lot of people disliked it because of the ending. I am actually more than satisfied with the ending despite the long lost sister part. It was just way too out of nowhere even though the parents did mentioned about how they cannot lose another one of their child. This is put into one of the best Kdrama on my list.
